Fall Items

15 Comments

Hello, Happy Thanksgiving to all of you out there who are celebrating today! I know the Holidays are particularly hard for so many for various reasons and my heart goes out to you. As I was preparing some of the food ahead of time yesterday, I kept thinking to myself, that even though my life has not been particularly easy the past few months, it is nothing compared to what is happening in other parts of the world. So as I celebrate with my family today (who were so sweet to make a 5-day trek across the U.S. with a new puppy and a cat to spend the Holidays with us). I am going to be extra grateful and pray for those who are alone, or are recently mourning a loved one, or can’t be with their family, and for peace for this World that I don’t recognize anymore. Tell me why can’t we all learn to love one another instead of hate?

Now let’s get on with my card!

Over at Seize the Birthday, Barb is our hostess and she has chosen Fall Items as our Topping. That can be anything from Food, Flowers, or Leaves and perhaps something else that we haven’t mentioned. As you can see, I chose flowers. We still have Loll with us as our Surprise Party Guest along with Lisa K., she was our winner using the Topping for our last challenge. Welcome, Ladies! So happy to have you designing alongside us.

*I have made a card similar to this one a few weeks ago and loved it so much I decided to make a similar one. Here is the first one.

A few Card Details: I used some DSP in the background of my wreath. I shaded the flowers and bow with blending brushes and ink and foiled the greeting. I have used clear Nuvo drops in the center of my flowers. Everything is linked for you below.

  1. Beautiful wreath with gorgoeus sunflowers and more in shades of yellow and orange. So perfect for this time of year, Nanc’! Love the patterned paper in the background … just adds another layer of deliciousness. Your first card you made with this layout is also beautiful. LOVE the contrasting colours of blue and orange … aways amazing together. Thanks again for inviting me to be a Party Guest. xx
